Oregon as a Fruit Land.
Experience lias prayed that great
and lasting benefits are the results
of a community of intelligent per
sons being massed together In a
limited area, for horticultural pur
suits on land In the best locations,
with soil and all surroundings best
adapted for that special purpose.
l)ho fruit lands of (Jregon are
located on the choicest hill land
wlth'basaltlc soil, being far superior
to, and much more lasting than
California's best fruit lauds, located
as they are on a granite foundation.
The building of cold storago in
the cities where tho fruit will be
sold and the storing of fruit in them
each fall, to be sold In the winter
an'd spring months, can be accom
plished by tho co-operation of many,
while It would bo impracticable for
an Isolated fruit tjrower.
Contracting to supply largo
amounts of fruit to canneries can
be accomplished to much advantage.
Dryjug fruifs, if deemed necessary,
can bo accomplished mini extensive
way wlth'mqcli less Ja'bor, ahd con
sequently moro prollt, than by indi
vidual cllbrt, and a largo lot can be
placed on tho market at a price in
advanco of that of a small lot.
The buyingof choice land in small
tracts, at. a reasonable price Is dllll
cult, especially to tho stranger,, who
not unfrequently buys land alto
gether unlit for tho purpose of grow
ing fruits. Hut now thot one vast
Held are being sub-divided, choice

THE FARMERS' CUXGKESS.
Eloquent Facts for Farmers to Read
and Consider.
The address to the people of Ore
gon by tho executive committee of
the Farmers, Congress -is strong,
straightforward and manly, and
shows from figures obtained from
the commissioner of agriculture,
that while the Increase of farm
values from 1800 to 1880 was 2J per
cent., that of other values was 20J
per cent. Aud while tho agricultur
al Industry represents 41 per cent,
of those engaged in "gainful occu
pations," the agricultural class holds
only 22J per cent, of the wealth of
the nation. And although the
amount of wealth produced by the
agriculturists lias quadrupled dur
ing the last two decades, their pro
portion of tho results of our general
Industry has shrunk from 50 per
cent to 27J per cent., while that of
thoso eDgaged largely in modifying
and transporting what has been pro
duced by the farmer has Increased
during the time from about 30 per
cent, to nearly 75 per cent, The
causes of this alarming transfer of
wealth from the pockets of those
who actually produce the commodi
ties representing wealth tp the
pockets of thoso who for tho most
part only modify them, aud tli
fruit culture.
Salem's Astoria and Tillamook It. It.
Uecauso no noise is being made
over tho proposition to have rail
way connection with Tillamook and
Astoria, It need not bo thought
Balcni Is sleeping over tho matter.
Yesterday there was a conference
between a number of Salem's busi
ness men and capitalists aud it was
thought best to delay action a few
days longer at least until tho holi
days were over, I a few weeks, if
not sooner, a eommltteo appointed
by the board of Undo will visit As
toria by tho sea for tho purpose of
conieinng with tno oluciuls of the
Astoria and South Coast It. It. In
tho mean time, all goes swimmingly
and tho prospects for tho early
construction of this lino grow
brighter every day.
Tno More lnsanrs.
Sherill' Ulrdsey camo up from
Jacksonville this morning, briuging
with him "Win. Forester, who was
committed to tho asylum for insane.
Forester Is forty-nine years of age
and his insanity Is the result of reli
gious excitement. He Is suicidal in
his actions, having taken threo
ounces of laudanum a few days
ago. Ashland was his home.
Virgil U. !Novsome is being ex
amined this afternoon before Judgo
Shaw for Insanity. lie has been
several times In tho asylum before.
without any corresponding change
of numbers engaged in each depart
ment, arc put in a nutshell by the
following resolutions :
First Tho national banking sys
tem, by which tho issue and control
of the volumo of money Is larcelv
confined to corporations. Whoover
controls the volume of money con
trols tho price of farm products.
Secondly High and unequal tax
ation, state and natloual.
Thirdly Creation by law of vast
franspoitatioh corporations, with
almost regal powers, and endowed
with essential monoply and uncon
trolled by necessary laws to prevent
extottion.
Fourthly Failuro of congress and
me legislature to pass laws abolish
ing and punishing vast combina
tions of chartered capital called
"trusts," by which products aro put
down to the producer and up to the
consumer.
Fifthly Tho legalized liquor
tralllc, which takes from the chan
nels of trade and productive Indus
tiy, once each year, every dollar in
actual cucmation.
These resolutions speak for them
selves, aud if tho Farmers' Congress
has tho slnminn to movo there Is
Home hopo for working u change in
the Infamous class legislation which
has cued our nation for the lost
two decades. As tho Fanners' Cou-
giess is a national organization, and
shows tho sumo independence and
self-preservative , patriotic good
sense as that shown by tho Oregon
branch, we bolievo that It Is Inteut
and will stay at least until somo vital

That Woolea Mill.
Last night there was a conference
of tho woolen mill commlltce and
to-day they are arranging a scheme
for purchase and payment for the
water power and site that may be
determined upon. A meeting will
be held with Mr. Kay in a few days
after which a general mass conven
tion of nil interested will bo .held.
All minor details will bo arranged
before this meeting is called, so that
definite conclusions cau be deter
mined upon.
It begins now to look as though
wo were rcojjy to have a woolen
mill. ?2Q,QQ0 Is no great sum for a
city of our wealth and size to raise.
What we need is a trifle more enter
prise. If we do not Bticceed in se
securing the establishment of this
enterprise here there are many
towns waiting, and only too
anxiously, to negotiate with Mr
Kay. Albany, for Instance, is not
sleeping, neither isPendleton. They
are ready to act. Spokane Falld
would raise tho required sum in one
hour if such a proposition were made
them. Let us have the -woolen

The Klver Boats.
As predicted sometime ago, there
is consideiable strife between tho O.
R. & N. and the O. P. river boats
for business. Tho river is now at a
good boating stage, and steamers can
go as far up as Harrisburg without
difficulty. The O. R. & N. Com
pany's steamboat Chamnion has
been placed on tho upper Willamette
trade but has no regular schedule
time, and will ply on the upper
river, picking up business wherever
It can be found, Tho O. P. boats
are handicapped, owing to the fact
that the rail division is almost block
ed with freight awaiting shipment
hy the O. D. steamers, and in conse
quenco thousands of bushels of
wheat that would bo shipped by tho
O. P. route must find an outlet via
Portland aud the O. R. & N. boats.
